Question Regarding motorcycle kept in storage
Hey everyone! So with a busy and cold winter that has recently passed by I would like to hop back on the 2 wheeler. Though she sat in storage for about 3 months now with a few start ups and short rides here and there. Just to get the fluids moving.

I guess my question is what would you guys recommend checking before getting back on the road with her. She's only 2 years old with right at about 16,000 miles.

Thanks in advance

Tire pressure, ALL fluids (fuel, oil, coolant, brake fluid), brakes, tires, lights. That's what i came up with.

me too but I'm not hating the reason why it's been in storage either now . Busy with work isn't always a bad thing now at days. lol

ok WTF, I have been looking for the kegerator for almost 2 weeks now and can't seem to find it! I had no problem finding the blinker fluid though.
Now everyone within a 50 mile radius knows when I am about to make a turn.
